Yun Qingwu looked at Fang Zhengzhi, then at the moon in the sky. She was not surprised by Fang Zhengzhi's attitude.

"Do you think that the moon is pretty tonight?"

"Go f*... hmm? That's your question?" Fang Zhengzhi's tone changed midway.

"Yes, that's my question." Yun Qingwu nodded.

"The moon... it's beautiful!" Fang Zhengzhi subconsciously looked up at the night sky. If not for the fact that the air reeked of blood...

He was in a good position to admire the moon.

However...

He never expected that that would be Yun Qingwu's question.

"Mm, I think that it is quite beautiful as well." Yun Qingwu raised her head calmly.

Fang Zhengzhi could not bring himself to be calm.

He had no idea why Yun Qingwu would ask him about the moon, but he knew that after she asked the question, there was a palm at his hand.

A frail-looking palm.

"As a half sage, do you really need to resort to a sneak attack? If you dare, let me admire the moon for a little longer!" Fang Zhengzhi blurted out.

He knew exactly how powerful that strike was going to be.

He also knew...

What would happen after...

Canyang hesitated. No one knew if it was because of what Fang Zhengzhi said...

But, he chose not to strike.

Fang Zhengzhi wanted to heave a sigh of relief, but he couldn't.

He knew that respite was temporary. Canyang looked extremely calm, almost like the surface of a lake.

Fang Zhengzhi knew what this meant.

Confidence...

And determination.

He knew that Canyang had already made up his mind.

"Am I really going to die?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at the moon and the constellations in the sky. He knew that if the blade was quick enough, there would be no pain. The only thing he didn't know was where he would appear after death.

After his death in the previous world, he had been plunged into this one. After spending so many years here, he had developed a connection to it.

It was a beautiful world.

The flowers were pretty, the water was clear, the air was fresh...

Fang Zhengzhi loved everything about it.

Over here, there was no water or air pollution and the food was all organic.

Fang Zhengzhi loved touring this world, he liked to admire the ancient architecture and immerse himself in the wilderness.

More importantly...

He had a family which cared about him here.

"Father, Mother... if you found out I died... how sad would you be?" Images flashed past in Fang Zhengzhi's mind.

When the Southern Mountain Village Elder came to visit with Mrs. Li, accompanied by armored soldiers...

That was the first time Fang Zhengzhi came into contact with power in this world.

The day when everyone in the village shed a tear as they surrounded the injured Fang Houde and the other hunters...

That was the day Fang Zhengzhi used the powers in this world.

The day when Fang Zhengzhi left the Southern Mountain Village with Fang Houde and Qin Xuelian...

That was the day he had fully exploited his powers.

Then...

All the times he had come home and stood by the door with his hunt of the day screaming, "Mom, I'm home! Dad, I'm home!"

"Home... can I even go back?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at the night sky and reminisced.

"Zhengzhi isn't back yet?"

"Zhengzhi, you are the pride of our village!"

"Zhengzhi is an official now! Our village will do well! He even built a school... no, it's an academy. And he built roads too!"

"Yes! He is the pride of all the villages in the region!"

...

"Have you seen enough?" Canyang interrupted Fang Zhengzhi's train of thoughts, forcefully dragging him back to reality.

Fang Zhengzhi didn't answer.

He had already begun struggling.

Even though he knew that the only thing that he could do in the face of Canyang's power was wait for his death...

He began to struggle like an octopus.

Hands, feet, teeth...

Fang Zhengzhi used everything he could. He didn't care about technique, all he wanted to do was live!

"Ah!" An incredible wave of force gushed out.

This was the force that originated from his pocket dimension. Unlike last time, this explosion did not come in waves.

It was a continuous chain!

It felt like a raging river crashing against a dam, never letting up.

Fang Zhengzhi had no intention of holding back. His only thought was to use every last drop of energy he had.

"Boom!" The force caused Canyang's robe and even causing the wrinkles on Canyang's skin to be blown backward.

Canyang's body moved...

Almost as if he was lifted off the ground by the force.

However, he steadied himself quickly and pushed down on Fang Zhengzhi like a rock.

"Sister Yan, Fang Zhengzhi is really going to die! You must save him!" Ping Yang urged on anxiously.

She was truly anxious.

That being said, she had no idea why she was that anxious...

"Shameless fella!" Chi Guyan's paled. No one had ever seen her this way before.

As her voice cut through the air.

A ray of silver light crashed earthward.

It was a silver light that concentrated the light from countless stars and constellations. It was almost as if all the stars were striking at Canyang.

"Boom!" A loud explosion rang out.

Canyang's body shuddered but he did not dodge. In fact, he didn't even try to dodge, allowing the light to hit him.

His frail body was like an enormous mountain which could withstand the might of the stars.

He raised his palm as he 'looked' at Fang Zhengzhi with his dull, hollow eyes.

"I think you've seen enough." Canyang's lips parted calmly as he made up his mind.

As Fang Zhengzhi looked at the pair of hollow eyes...

He despaired. For the first time, all of his efforts had come to nothing.

The manic wave of force had blown away everything near him, from secret weapons to food and drinks.

But none of those even came into contact with Canyang.

As soon as they hit his blue light, they fell to the ground.

Chi Hou had used that to dodge his secret attacks in the Divine Constabulary.

But now...

He was facing an even stronger opponent, the half sage, Canyang.

"I haven't even gotten married yet!" Fang Zhengzhi had many regrets. Even in his previous life, he had not found a wife before he got married.

In this world, he had limitless potential ahead of him, but he was also going to die alone.

Fang Zhengzhi didn't want to accept it.

But there was nothing that he could do about it.

His Heart Protection Mirror had been shattered. What else could defend against Canyang's attack?

Armor!

He had won an armor once!

Fang Zhengzhi scrambled to find something beside him. He realized that the armor had been blown away as well.

He was at a loss.

He didn't even have any armor.

Just as he was thinking about it, Fang Zhengzhi's hand shuddered as he grabbed a rock, a black rock.

"This rock is..." Fang Zhengzhi realized that this was the rock that he found after he escaped from The Vast World.

However, this rock had not done anything since he picked it up. He had just left it inside his Heart Protection Mirror.

This rock...

Remained despite all the commotion?

Fang Zhengzhi had no idea what this rock was, or what it could do.

He had no time to think about any of this.

Canyang was already striking towards his chest with a mountainous force.

He didn't give it any more thought.

Fang Zhengzhi placed the rock on his chest. He didn't care what it could do...

A rock was better than nothing.

"Boom!"

Fang Zhengzhi took the brunt of the hit.

He could never dodge Canyang's strike. The palm hit home.

Even though he had placed a rock in the way, the power of the strike was still keenly felt.

Fang Zhengzhi's eyes widened. He felt as though he had just been struck by a gargantuan force.

He knew exactly how powerful that strike was.

He was sure that he would die.

At the very least...

His pocket dimension would be destroyed.

"I wonder if you can live without a pocket dimension? If so, how long?" Fang Zhengzhi thought about it to himself.

He was waiting...

He was waiting for his pocket dimension to shatter.

However, after a moment of hesitation, he realized that all he felt was pain.

Did Canyang show mercy?

He dismissed that thought. Canyang would never show mercy, not with that strike.

So...

Why wasn't he dead?

Fang Zhengzhi rarely thought about such useless questions. He looked at Canyang.

Canyang was 'looking' back at him.

His empty eyes were fixed on Fang Zhengzhi, the calm gone from his face.

It felt as though Fang Zhengzhi had dropped a rock into a still lake.

The rock!

Fang Zhengzhi looked at the rock on his chest, a rock which was currently glowing.

It was not dull and dark as before...

Right now, it was glowing radiantly.

The silver light merged with the stars in the sky, lighting up the night sky.

"This rock is a treasure!" Fang Zhengzhi was stunned.

Even a dummy would know that the rock had just saved his life. He didn't know how it had transformed into a valuable treasure...

But...

He knew that it was better than having nothing.

Furthermore, he had placed it in the Heart Protection Mirror. Perhaps he had foresight after all...

Even though...

He had treated it as trash...

But disregarding that fact for a moment...

The light from Fang Zhengzhi's chest attracted the attention of everyone.

All of those on the city walls were stunned by what they were witnessing.

"What is that?"

They thought to themselves.

However, no one could answer that question.

The demon army behind Yun Qingwu was also equally confused. All of the domain chiefs looked at the radiant light.

They were all stunned...

However...

They were not asking questions, they were terrified...

"Is that..."

"That is... The Vast World!"

"How is that possible?! Why does Fang Zhengzhi have The Vast World?!"
